Cattlin proved she’s one of WA’s rising stars with another precise display of polished surfing.

“I’m so happy, Smith’s is my local break and I was so stoked to hear that we’d be surfing the finals out here,” Cattlin said.

“It’s my final year competing in the Small Fries and winning again means everything to me, this is where I started competing as a little kid and it is cool I can finish as a winner.”

Remy North from Dunsborough posted big scores in the 10/U division to claim his maiden victory and was pumped with the win.

“I’m so stoked, amazed, and surprised to have won,” North said.

“It’s been a great to get all the groms here to Yallingup from right across Australia.”

His total final score was 15.75 out of 20 and Taj paddled out with the youngest finalists to watch on and catch a few waves.

Dunsborough’s Jay Robinson made the hotly contested 14/U Boys final which was highly entertaining display of riding and Robinson placed fourth overall with Solomon Poe Englet taking out first place.

Ned Hart third place in the 12/U and was won by Brazilian Ryan Kainalo.
